I bought this cream while in Europe because I ran out of my beloved (and dearly missed) Retin-A. Effeclar K did nothing to prevent me from breaking out all over again or from developing blackheads...

It works! Yes, it REALLY works! I've been using it for only 2 or 3 days but my skin has improved significantly! (believe me i've tried lotsa stuff) La Roche Posay makes really good stuff!

I had a couple samples of this product floating around, and I finally decided to use them this week on my combination, sensitive, acne-prone skin. I ended up using the product only once on my face...

I have now dealt with acne/scarring for 6 years. When I hit year 4, I was introduced to this product line. Initially, I was skeptical due to the cost ( between 20-35 dollars per item, 4 steps), but...

Ok, I've only been using this for 4 days, so I will definitely do an update later on. So far It's great. I love how this controls the oil production; waking up with a matte face hasn't happened to...

After having gone through my teenage years with no acne problem whatsoever, I was foolishly confident that my skin would never be a problem. Until I turned 20 and the fires of hell broke loose. The...

I bought it because I hoped I will find the right products for my pimples and oily skin. Was a wrong decision, because my face getting worse, my wrinkles was deeper, and the condition of my skin...

Utterly useless. This did nothing at all for me. I used the whole tube and neither felt nor saw anything different.

I have used 2 tubes of Effaclar K but my pores are still very clogged. Hate that smell too.

Good product. Just the smell, somewhat feels like toothpast. I still miss Avenue's Cleanance K.

This is HG for my skin! Helps to prevent breakouts (I have extremely acne-prone skin) and generally helps to clear our my prone-to-clogging pores. Also my skin gets cranky when it doesn't get this...

This did a good job at preventing future whitehead breakouts, but didn't really do anything for my blackheads or dealing with cystic breakouts. It had a nice matte finish to it, but that was masked...
